Have you ever seen a raccoon in your trash can?

What can we say? We love sports.  Go, Penguins! Go, Steelers!

What would your property do with 43% back in hauling costs? Multifamily locations using DSQ Pioneer have cut hauling spend from $44,063 down to $25,054 by switching from scheduled hauls to on-call ones, thanks to DSQ Pioneer's predictive technology.  Predictive waste management pays for itself.

In the words of Charlie Dolan: hardware is hard.  The Blazer Brothers talked to us about the struggles of creating something from scratch, how the budget at first didn’t make sense, and the thing about making molds.

Managing waste vendors is more work than it should be. DSQ Discovery automates your operational activities across 96% of available waste vendors, so your team spends less time on admin and more time driving results. 🗑️ Efficiency at scale, without the manual effort.

When does your waste vendor contract expire? If you had to wonder where to look for it, that's the problem. Missed expiration dates mean missed leverage. Vendors auto-renew, rates go unchallenged, and your property keeps overpaying on terms you never revisited. DSQ Discovery keeps every contract organized and every expiration date tracked, so you're always negotiating from a position of knowledge. Never get caught off guard again.

The spreadsheet was never the problem. Scale was. If you're managing waste invoices across multiple locations, these 5 signs usually show up before you realize the process has broken down.

The customer who swears they never asked for that dumpster is every hauler's favorite headache. 🫠 We wrote about them. And more importantly, how dispatcher software puts the receipts right in your pocket. tinyurl.com/295wprjb

New episode of the Waste Nexus Podcast is live. 🎙️ This one's a great story: two Pittsburgh brothers, Justin and Quentin Blazer, built a product to honor their late father and ended up in 1,500+ Ace Hardware stores. Their trash can strap has one feature that's changing the conversation with haulers: an auto-release notch that lets an automated arm empty a secured bin without a driver ever leaving the cab. We talked about product development, US manufacturing, the challenge of getting hauler adoption, and why Pittsburgh keeps producing waste innovation.  Give it a listen.  tinyurl.com/4fyx4r2p

This is not a tech conference. This is also not a big waste trade show. This is an anti-conference for the waste industry.  Instead of TEDTalks, we’ll have 1:1 conversations. Instead of food courts, we’ll host the best business dinner you’ll ever attend. Instead of leaving with thousands of business cards, you’ll leave with real business connections.  Do you want in?  Apply now and join us in September in Pittsburgh!  tinyurl.com/ytmc2x3e

One-hour flight or five-hour drive? 🙊 What do YOU think?

Three spreadsheets.  Nobody sure which one is right.  Sound familiar? When waste operations scale, manual tracking stops being a workaround and starts being the problem. Overcharges slip through. Reporting eats hours. And the whole process lives in one person's head. We broke down exactly when the spreadsheet stops working, and what invoice automation looks like when it actually fits how waste ops run. Read it here→ tinyurl.com/yrtb2t4x
